A YOUNG woman was dying. A minister visited her, and after making inquiries about her health, said, “I fear there is not much hope of your recovery.
She replied, “I am told there is none, sir.”
“Well, then,” said he, “have you made your peace with God?” She paused. He continued. “Do you not think it is time you began to do so?”
“It was made by Jesus when He died on the cross,” was her simple but scriptural reply.
Reader! have you peace with God? Peace we could not make, —our sins had separated us from a
holy God; but the Lord Jesus Christ “made peace” upon the cross. He shed His precious blood, making full atonement for sin, that He might give peace to all who believe on Him.
